“ A very home cooking food kind of restaurant. Won't expect wow factor but everything is balance, taste, portion all work well. The Japanese steam egg - chawanmushi comes with gingko and scallop at the bottom. Miso soup is comforting. The chicken we had not the regular teriyaki chicken comes with mashed potato. I forgotten about the name, it's a bit salty if eat alone but works well with rice. We had two sets cost RM 50.60 including 10%tax. We will be visiting again for other dishes. ”

“ Authentic japanese food at Tanjung Tokong. Worth a try. ”

“ Their chicken dishes are good. Teriyaki chicken, Tori karaage, teppanyaki chicken are all very delicious. As for the seafood, saba shio and unagi are fresh and tasty, but unagi is a tad too sweet for us. Salmon is too thin. Tempura prawn and squid shio is okay. Fried mixed vegetables are better than fried mixed mushrooms. Two types of fried rice i.e. with salmon / with garlic is okay. Rice is a bit wet and a bit bland in taste. The waitress highly recommended their chawanmushi. And yea, it's quite nice but nothing too special. This is a small shop. Better call to make a reservation. ”

“ The shusui was decent. The fried chicken was very good and juice. The salmon cheek was also very good and tasty. Overall 4.5 star. Service was also very good ”

“ Good food for value. Friendly lady boss who comes out to serve on weekends and gives good recimmendations if you have no idea what to order. Strict SOP rules makes you feel safe to dine inside because overcrowding is never going to happen here. Limited tables tho hence it is recommended to make a call for reservation especially for big groups. Good to order in advance as certain dishes like sashimi needs time for preparation and book for availability. The squid dish is by far the best in penang. ”

“ My go-to place for Japanese meals. Recently, we went there and ordered the grilled calamari, two unagi bento boxes w/ soup and rice), fried salmon skin salad. Green tea was bottomless too. ”
